Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake for approximately 45 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before rubbing with the masala.
Feel free to adjust the amount of garam masala to your taste. For a spicier chicken, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice rub.
If the chicken skin starts to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of roasting.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a side of rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
